00:05 - [Mary Ann] We've grown up in the church 00:06 and have always been somewhat involved in outreach 00:10 but how can we get involved in missions overseas? 00:13 My name is Mary Ann. 00:15 - [Lilyann] And I'm Lilyann. 00:16 We wanted to find out. 00:18 Join us on our journey 00:20 (gong ringing) 00:22 to discover the culture, the lifestyle. 00:25 - [Mary Ann] The need and the mission. 00:26 - [Lilyann] In two of Southeast Asia's 00:29 least reached countries. 00:31 Welcome to MissionTREK. 00:36 Hey it's so good to have you join us again. 00:39 - In the last episode we met a girl 00:41 who was raised from the dead 00:42 and Myranda Lumbee who is hoping to plant schools 00:45 in impoverished villages. 00:46 - In this episode we will visit an amazing center 00:49 of influence being built 00:51 by a young couple living in Bangkok. 00:53 - Then we get to go to a Thai cooking class 00:56 where we will learn 00:57 how to make really good tasting traditional Thai dishes. 01:00 But don't worry, it's all vegetarian. 01:02 - But before we learn how to cook Thai food, 01:05 we visit Bryan and Jessica Atwell 01:07 who are building the center of influence. 01:09 - Mm-hm, before they moved to Bangkok 01:11 they were newly married Bible workers in America 01:13 and had just had their first child. 01:15 - They found out about the great need in Bangkok 01:17 by watching "I Want This City" which you can also watch 01:20 at Iwantthiscity.com. 01:22 They took the call personally. 01:24 - Yeah, so they moved to Bangkok and the first thing 01:27 they did was start learning the language. 01:29 - Thai is a hard language to learn because it is tonal. 01:31 - Yeah, so that means that not 01:34 only do the words mean something different 01:36 but each way you say them means something different too. 01:39 Like my, my, my and my all mean different things. 01:43 But it's the same word. 01:45 - So it must be best to learn it while you're young. 01:47 - Definitely, older people have a really hard time with it. 01:50 So that is just one of the advantages 01:52 of being young in the mission field. 01:53 - It was slow for them at first, but God blessed 01:56 and he gave them a huge building for their project. 01:59 - So could you explain a little bit 02:01 about what a center of influence is? 02:04 - Yes, it's a term Mrs. White uses quite often 02:07 when referring to the work in the cities. 02:09 She says it is the positive duty of God's people 02:12 to go into the regions beyond 02:14 and establish new centers of influence 02:16 wherever an opening can be found. 02:18 - Wow, that sounds like a really important thing to do. 02:20 - Yeah, for sure. 02:22 She talked a lot about missionary work 02:24 to the people of the cities 02:25 but we have tended to ignore these instructions. 02:27 - Yeah, thankfully the Atwells did not ignore God's call 02:31 for them and after learning the language have been led 02:34 to this large building. 02:35 - One of the great things about this building is that 02:38 it's just a few hundred feet from the main gate 02:41 of a huge university with over 500,000 students. 02:45 Wow can you imagine a school 02:47 with over half a million students? 02:49 - No, that's bigger than many cities. 02:51 - Yeah, I'm excited to meet that Atwells 02:53 and see their place. 02:54 - Me too. 02:56 While we were there, they were in the early stages 02:58 of building so keep in mind that it's under construction. 03:01 (gentle music) 03:06 - We're with the Atwells, Jessica and Brian, 03:09 at their house and we wanted to ask them a few questions 03:13 about their project, what they do here in Bangkok. 03:16 - So how'd you guys come here to live in Bangkok? 03:19 - Well we ended up coming to Bangkok 03:22 because God impressed us that we were supposed to 03:27 give all and come live in a foreign mission field. 03:29 We didn't have any money 03:31 but we had our lives and since Jesus died for us, 03:33 we're the most expensive things in the entire world 03:36 because giving your life over here. 03:38 - Basically we quit our jobs and sold everything that we had 03:41 that was of any value and gave away the rest. 03:43 And moved over here. 03:45 - So you have two little kids, right? 03:48 - [Jessica] Mm-hm. 03:49 - Is it scary raising kids in the mission field? 03:51 - It's petrifying to raise children period, 03:54 no matter where you are (laughing). 03:56 But it's an adventure 03:58 and that's what I wanted for my kids. 03:59 I didn't want just a regular old life. 04:02 I wanted them to have a unique childhood. 04:07 - And I think raising them where God wants us to be, 04:09 I think is the best place that we can be. 04:11 - Yeah it's the safest place in the world 04:12 is wherever God wants you to be. 04:14 - Mm-hm. - Yeah, so. 04:15 - What do you do here? 04:17 - We are in the midst of setting up a ministry here 04:21 that's just getting started. 04:22 We did language study 04:24 for a couple of years and yeah, now onto the ministry. 04:28 - So-- - He does the hard stuff. 04:30 - We're setting up a center of influence 04:32 where we can build relationships with people. 04:34 - We had all these different ideas 04:36 about what God wanted us to do. 04:37 Maybe we'll just have a small little cafe 04:39 and, oh no, we should do a restaurant. 04:42 Oh, but the gym thing would be so cool. 04:44 And you know we should have like a church plant there too, 04:47 so we could do meetings and we felt so scattered. 04:49 What did God want us to do? 04:50 And then we just kind of gave it up and said, 04:52 "Well whatever building he leads us to 04:54 "then that's what we'll do." 04:55 Whatever it fits. 04:56 Well then God gave us this monstrous building, 04:59 four floors and the project is all of these projects. 05:03 And so we weren't scatterbrained, 05:05 they were all God's ideas, he just wants us to do them all. 05:08 - And so the first floor will be a cafe, 05:10 second floor will be a restaurant, 05:11 the third floor would be a church 05:12 and kind of like a meeting lecture hall 05:14 and then the fourth floor and the fifth floor combined 05:18 will be a rock climbing gym and a fitness center 05:20 for helping people. 05:21 We're wanting to focus on health 05:23 and so we're kind of trying to get a complete picture 05:26 of health, not just nutrition but extra fitness as well. 05:30 - I'm so glad he didn't show us what he wanted us 05:32 to do three years ago 05:34 'cause we would have been way too scared to get over here. 05:36 And that's just how God leads is, 05:37 you know, it's always adventurous. 05:39 every little baby step is adventurous. 05:41 It's never too much but it's always enough to scare you 05:44 and keep it exciting, so. 05:46 - As we got more into establishing what we're doing, 05:49 we realized that this center not only would be 05:51 for reaching out to other people but it can, 05:53 it's going to be training the workers 05:55 that are coming to work with us. 05:57 And so as we work in connection 05:59 with our Bible workers one-on-one 06:01 and then working with other people, 06:03 they're able to witness how we all work together. 06:06 And so it will also serve as a training center 06:08 where the goal will be within a few years 06:12 to be able to see which ones are really solid 06:14 and working well and we can take them 06:16 and help them establish their own center 06:19 in a different part of the town, of the city 06:21 or in a different part of the country even. 06:22 And then they can kind of continue this model on their own. 06:25 - God gave you your own personality, 06:28 like stand in your God-given personality 06:30 and be no man's shadow. 06:32 Be who God made you to be. 06:34 All those unique things you like and dislike, 06:36 the passion he gave you, 06:37 he can use to reach others. 06:40 God doesn't want your life to be boring. 06:42 He gave you a personality and talents and skills 06:45 and whatever you like to do. 06:47 If you want to use that for the Lord, he'll use it. 06:49 Let it be Christ-led and it'll be awesome. 06:52 It'll be so exciting. 06:53 I love our life, I don't ever want to go back. 06:57 (laughing) It's perfect here. 06:58 - Well thanks so much for sharing 06:59 we've learned a lot more about your background story 07:03 and we're excited to see the project. 07:05 So, could you take us to the building? 07:06 - Yeah, let's go check it out. 07:07 - Okay, you guys have fun at the building. 07:09 I hear Asher, I gotta go. 07:10 (gentle music) 07:20 (people chattering) 07:22 - And so they can sit up at the bar top. 07:24 We'll have plugs here so they can plug in their laptop. 07:26 And they can kind of work on homework, order smoothie. 07:29 This will be the library for people 07:31 to read Christian literature as well as some stuff 07:34 on learning English 'cause we can't legally teach 07:37 more than seven students at a time 07:39 and all of these students have 07:41 to pass an English class in order to graduate. 07:43 And so they want to learn English. 07:44 And so a couple of Thai workers suggested, 07:47 what if you had books where they could kind of read 07:49 and study themselves and then they can come out 07:51 and talk to you to practice. 07:53 But then that's not us teaching them. 07:54 So we're not breaking the rules 07:57 but we're still technically kind of helping them 07:59 with their English classes. 08:01 If you want to go up to the second floor. 08:03 So this floor, there will be a wall coming out here. 08:05 It goes here, all the way across. 08:09 It will be a half wall the rest will be glass, 08:10 going up and around. 08:11 And there'll be a sliding glass door there 08:13 to go into the restaurant. 08:15 (gentle music) 08:18 Two really big things here in the university age people, 08:21 they suffer from depression and that often leads 08:24 to addiction, alcoholism. 08:26 And so we want to hold 08:27 some ongoing meetings and classes about that. 08:31 So this room here will be the meeting room 08:33 where we'll hold those 08:34 but as well as different health topics. 08:36 We're wanting to give them practical help 08:37 on how they can change their health 08:39 so that they can have more energy, they can be happier, 08:42 they can be healthier but then that's also an opportunity 08:46 for us to build a relationship in that. 08:48 'Cause when you help someone with something 08:50 that they're struggling with, 08:51 they kind of build a connection with you. 08:53 So we can bridge that opportunity 08:55 to building a relation with us 08:56 to build a relationship with God. 08:58 The last floor is none of the fun floor. 09:03 So this is where we're going to have the climbing wall 09:05 and the fitness center. 09:07 The Thai people aren't super excited about exercising. 09:10 I mean, it's hot so it's not really all that fun. 09:14 But we found that rock climbing is something 09:16 that they're good at 09:17 but they don't see it as exercise really. 09:19 They see it as just like an activity to do. 09:22 But it is a full-body exercise as well as the mind. 09:25 It helps stimulate the mind and so it helps with depression 09:27 and some of these other things that we're trying 09:28 to help them with as well. 09:31 (gentle music) 09:35 - Well thank you so much for showing us your project. 09:38 - You're welcome, thank you for coming. 09:40 - We'll definitely keep this project in our prayers 09:43 and we'd like to encourage all of our viewers 09:45 to also pray for this project. 09:47 Support it if you feel led to. 09:50 (gentle music) 09:58 After showing us the center of influence building, 10:00 Mr. Atwell asked if he wanted to do some climbing 10:03 on a nearby wall. 10:04 We were excited to give it a try. 10:15 - That's kind of an easy spot to grab. 10:18 This is a big one. Try to focus on getting your feet up 10:20 and then finding a hand after you do that. 10:29 (people chattering) 10:32 There, there you go. 10:35 There you go, nice. 10:36 - [Mary Ann] Good job! 10:37 Hold on! 10:47 (Lilyann laughing) 10:49 - [Cameraman] How you feel about that? 10:51 - My hands are just shaking, like this arm (sighs). 10:53 (gentle music) 10:55 ♪ Oo, oo, oo ♪ 10:58 - God has been doing amazing things 11:00 since we visited the Atwells 11:01 and we want to share with you some more recent stories 11:04 about how God has worked and provided 11:05 for their center of influence. 11:08 - The renovation process has been going on now 11:11 for almost 15 months, I think. 11:14 We got original estimate of four months 11:16 to fully renovate everything and have it finished. 11:20 And you know throughout this process 11:22 there was a lot of things that were on the original invoice 11:24 from the builder and I looked at it 11:26 and I was trying to save money 11:27 and so I started cutting things out. 11:28 I said, "Well, I know how to do this, 11:29 "I can do that, I can do this, I can do that." 11:31 For the most part I was by myself for a lot of it 11:33 and so I would just listen to sermons on my headphones. 11:36 So that day specifically, I went home 11:38 and I was talking to Jessica 11:40 and I was kind of ranting 11:41 about how I was so frustrated with, 11:44 you know, and there's all these things 11:45 I don't know how to do 11:46 and there's things I do know how to do 11:47 and when I go to do those 11:49 and those still don't even work out. 11:50 And I said you know what I've listened 11:51 to so many passages and so many things today 11:54 but God will bless in city work if we trust him 11:56 and we move forward in faith. 11:57 And I said, "I'm just gonna hire 11:59 "some people to do this work." 12:00 I said, "Even though I know how to do it," 12:02 I said, "I need to be focusing 12:02 "on the ministry side of things 12:04 "and not just saving a couple hundred dollars." 12:06 And I opened my phone and I was checking my emails 12:09 and there was an email from someone and they said, 12:11 "Hey, we just wanted you to know 12:12 "that we're praying for you and also to let you know 12:14 "that we just sent you a donation for $10,000, 12:17 "to help with the renovation work." 12:19 And I literally just went around the corner 12:20 and I fell down on the ground. 12:22 I was crying, I was praying and I was just like, 12:23 I was confessing how negative I've been, 12:26 how selfish I had been in trying 12:28 to take what I could take from it. 12:31 And there have been countless times 12:32 where God has done things like that throughout the last year 12:35 where it's just, he's trying to remind me 12:37 that this isn't your project. 12:38 This is my project and if you'll just let go of it, 12:41 I can do stuff. 12:42 (triumphant music) 12:46 When we got into climbing and we felt impressed 12:49 that we could use that as an avenue 12:51 to bridge relationships to Christ 12:53 that was kind of the exciting main focus 12:55 that we were trying to emphasize. 12:58 I contacted the local company that would come out 13:02 and build a wall for us and they wanted like $97,000. 13:07 And so at first we said, "Well God can provide 13:10 "if that's what he wants us to do." 13:13 And so we were kind of telling people in our newsletter 13:16 that there's so much money we needed to be able 13:17 to have this happen 13:19 and we didn't get a single donation towards it. 13:21 So we just let it go. I just said, "You know what? 13:23 "If God lets us have a climbing wall, 13:24 "we'll have a climbing wall at some point." 13:29 When we were in the States actually, 13:30 we tried to meet with a few different people 13:31 to see if they could come and help establish the wall 13:33 and then stay on and work it. 13:35 There was one young guy that we met with 13:37 who seemed really promising and so we met with him 13:39 and at the end he's like, "Well, I can't you know. 13:41 "I have a job and I just started a new profession." 13:44 And so I kind of went away 13:46 from that meeting feeling a little bit discouraged. 13:48 Well he contacted us three months later and he said, 13:50 "Hey, I have a friend that might be interested 13:52 "in helping out with you at the climbing stuff 13:54 "that you have going on." 13:56 Basically he connected me with this guy who said, 13:58 "Every year I try and arrange a mission trip 14:00 "where we go out and we do some kind of a building project." 14:02 And he said, "My friend told me that you're trying 14:04 "to build a climbing wall." 14:05 And he said, "We're all climbers 14:06 "and that would be something really awesome." 14:08 You know, he had given me a budget. 14:10 He said it would probably be 14:11 around 30 to $35,000 including everything. 14:14 I asked him, "How sure are you 14:15 "that you're thinking you'll be coming?" 14:17 And he said, "Well, I'll tell you what. 14:19 "If you're officially inviting us, we will come." 14:21 And so I told them, 14:23 "Well I'll tell you I'm officially inviting you 14:24 "but I have no money." 14:26 So then we get an email from someone that we didn't know 14:29 and the guy says, "I'm a lawyer in the States." 14:31 And he said, "And I had covenanted with God 14:34 "that this case that I had been working on, 14:36 "that when it was settled that I would give 50% 14:38 "of what I earned to your project." 14:40 And he said, "And so I'll be sending you $35,000 14:44 "but I can't get it to you until this date." 14:46 And he said the day and I looked at it 14:47 and the other guy had just sent me an email saying, 14:49 well we just bought tickets 14:51 and they were for right about the same time. 14:54 And so God just just worked it out 14:56 and provided the resources that we needed. 14:58 And then the team to come over and do it. 14:59 It was really encouraging to see 15:00 that God had a plan again. 15:02 He wanted to work it out 15:03 but he wanted to get the right people involved 15:05 and make it work in the right timing. 15:07 (gentle music) (people chattering) 15:14 So we're trying to figure out 15:15 how everything was gonna get tied together. 15:17 And I was messaging my friend Calvin in the States 15:20 and he said, "Well have you heard what we're doing, 15:22 "the ministry that we have going on?" 15:24 I said, "No." And he sent me a link to it. 15:25 He said, "It's called F5 Challenge." 15:28 They do fitness events, 15:29 the five Fs are fun, fitness, faith, 15:32 fellowship and fortitude. 15:33 And so we prayed about it and said, "Well this seems like 15:36 "it would just bring everything together." 15:37 It's like one club. 15:39 And so on the front actually we put the sign the first time 15:41 we put up was Club F5. 15:42 And so it's kind of like a membership thing, 15:45 you can sign up, you can be a member of the gym 15:46 but then it also includes a certain number of meals 15:49 at the restaurants and certain number of juices. 15:51 It's kind of all one thing 15:53 and it really just brings everything together. 15:55 And so the idea is that we have this gym, 15:58 people can come and kind of learn and practice climbing. 16:00 But the real goal is that once a month 16:02 we take a trip, we go outside of the city. 16:04 There's a few places within three hours of here 16:06 where there's some really awesome outdoor climbing 16:08 but then we can take people out, 16:10 we can do a weekend camping trip, get them out 16:11 to where they can be in nature, see God's creation 16:14 and it gives us opportunities to talk to them about God. 16:17 We do worships with them in the morning and evening. 16:20 The main important thing is building a relationship. 16:23 And when you're at the bottom of a rope 16:24 and you're holding that rope 16:26 and you're the only reason 16:27 why that person isn't gonna fall down, 16:29 it builds a lot of that trust that is an important factor 16:32 in being open to spiritual things 16:33 and these different ideas that are contrary 16:36 to what they've grown up believing. 16:39 - Recently we've been working really hard, 16:41 preparing for a grand opening event. 16:44 We had a bouldering competition. 16:46 And it was kind of a sneak peak 16:48 for all of the climbers in this area. 16:50 And what was really amazing is we had 16:52 over 200 people show up and it was a huge success. 16:56 I'm just so thankful. 16:58 God pulled it off. 16:59 - So the plan from here is to open the cafe. 17:03 From there we're then doing recipe development 17:05 and trying to work on getting all of our equipment set up 17:08 for the pizzeria that will be on the floor above that 17:11 and getting our staff trained 17:13 and then finding the other staff 17:14 that we need in order to do that. 17:23 - Wow, that's amazing. 17:25 - Yeah, can you imagine the amount of faith 17:27 it must have taken to build a ministry that big? 17:30 - It must cost a lot to do that, too. 17:32 - Yeah but we serve a big God don't we? 17:34 - Yep and he can fill any need 17:36 that brings glory to his name. 17:37 - This is something that anyone could do. 17:40 I mean Ryan and Jessica didn't go to school 17:42 to learn to set up a center of influence. 17:43 They were just Bible workers. 17:45 They used their imagination. 17:46 They prayed a lot and they followed God one step at a time 17:49 to where the need was greatest. 17:50 - Yeah, and God will do the same for anyone. 17:53 We just need to take that one step of faith 17:56 and then another and another and another 17:58 and God will direct us if we don't give up. 18:01 - Mm-hmm, but moving on now, 18:03 our next adventure is the promised Thai cooking class. 18:06 - Yeah, one of our favorite restaurants 18:08 in Bangkok is May Kaidee. 18:10 We can order anything on the menu 18:11 and know that it's gonna be vegetarian. 18:13 - And the flavors are so wonderful. 18:15 I love how Thai food relies so heavily on fresh vegetables 18:18 directly from the garden with very little processed foods. 18:21 - And they use almost completely natural seasonings as well 18:27 - And they rarely use any salt. 18:29 - Yeah and May Kaidee also offers cooking classes. 18:33 And we thought we'd try it out. 18:34 So we met up with a friend Jim Katzdoor 18:37 and they thankfully let us film our experience. 18:40 - Yeah, we will be providing a couple of recipes 18:44 to go along with some dishes so you can follow along at home 18:47 and then make them for your friends and family 18:49 to remind them of the forgotten, unreached people in Asia. 18:52 - So get your pen and paper out to write down these recipes 18:55 or you can find them at MissionTREK.net. 18:59 (gentle music) 19:09 - We're here at May Kaidee's 19:11 and that is like a cooking class place, 19:15 Thai cooking class place. 19:17 So we're gonna get a Thai cooking class with Jim. 19:20 -
